Density current
shakes
it forms from an earthquake under water pushing the water upward.
Density's role is to push the cloudy turbid water under the less dense surrounding water to start the turbidity currents
Well, the less dense plate thing dunks under the more dense one. Eventually (over millions of years) the stuff pops, going into volcanic activity. Hope this helps! Email me if you need more info @ ghambelton@verizon.bet
The collision of plates commonly includes "subduction", where one plate is forced under the other, down into the mantle. These plates are melted and rise again, adding to the magma under the overlying plate. This creates heated rock that can later emerge through the surface in volcanoes. Oceanic plates are thinner and denser than continental plates, so are the ones forced down, either under a continental plate or another oceanic plate.

Yes, this process is known as thermohaline circulation. It occurs when denser, colder seawater sinks beneath less dense, warmer seawater, generating deep ocean currents that help regulate Earth's climate by distributing heat around the globe.
In the Mediterranean Sea the cool dense water sinks under less dense water which is called density current.

When cool dense water sinks, it becomes more dense because the cooler temperature causes the water molecules to contract and become more tightly packed together. This increased density allows the water to sink below warmer, less dense water layers.
No, the denser plate sinks under the less dense plate in a process called subduction.
A subduction zone is formed when an oceanic plate is pushed under a continental plate, resulting in volcanic activity. Oceanic crust is denser and sinks beneath the less dense continental crust, leading to the formation of volcanic arcs on the overriding plate.
This is called a destructive plate boundary. It occurs due to the fact that the oceanic crust is far denser than the continental crust. As a result it subducts into the mantle and is incenerated. Hope it helped:)
When two seafloor plates collide, one of the plates may get forced beneath the other in a process called subduction. As the descending plate sinks into the Earth's mantle, it gets heated up, causing the rock to melt. This molten rock rises to the surface and forms volcanoes, leading to volcanic activity.
Because magma rises through hot spots( holes in the ground on the ocean floor) and cools forming new crust which repeats over hundreds of years making the oceanic crust more dense than continental crust. Since the oceanic crust is more dense, it sinks faster causing it to slide under the continental crust
